Rick Hawn's Blogs

Greg Savage and Jeff Sherwood returned to The Sherdog Radio Network
Monday for another edition of "The Savage Dog Show." Joining them
were MMA fighters Ian McCall and
Jay
Hieron.

Ian
McCall looked stellar Friday night in Lemoore, California at
The Tachi Palace. "Uncle Creepy" joined the show Monday to talk
about his unanimous decision victory of Tennessee's Dustin
Ortiz.

Saturday night Jay Hieron
defeated Rick Hawn in
the finals of Bellator's welterweight tournament. Though the fan's
opinion of the bout vary as to who won the fight, Hieron claims to
be surprised at the decision going his way was split. The Xtreme
Couture product talks about the victory and his upcoming title shot
with Ben
Askren.

“At this point in my career, I don’t think my body can take judo
training. … Judo’s so hard on the body and the joints. I had my
run. I made the [U.S. Olympic team]. That was my goal, my long-term
goal in judo. Obviously it would have been nice to get a medal, but
at this point in my life, it’s about something new. I’m excited
about my MMA career. I’m doing well in it. I want to do this as
long as my body can take it.”
